Share it

It’s no secret that sleep (or lack thereof) in the first five years is a difficult journey full of challenges. When preparing for a newborn or caring for your infant or toddler, some of the most important decisions you’ll need to make are about sleep safety and comfort. 

ergoPouch, Australia’s leading brand in baby sleepwear, sleeping pouches and sleep tools help take the guesswork out of making sleep-safe decisions for your child. With a range spanning from Newborn to 6 years old, ergoPouch products provide peace of mind and help you navigate the more difficult phases of your child’s sleep journey. 

Whether you’re a new parent or growing a family, ergoPouch sleep systems are a great investment that will last several years and across several children.

We asked three mums from the Tell Me Baby community to review products from the sleep system in the Newborn, Infant and Toddler ranges. Read on or watch the video below to find out what they thought.

Newborn Range

The Cocoon Swaddle Bag is ergoPouch’s most popular sleepwear item for newborns. It’s designed to be easy to use and difficult to escape from, as well as providing comfort and safety to keep your baby snug and secure. The swaddle is made from natural fibres and can be used at room temperatures between 21-24°C without the requirement for blankets in the cot – making this a safe sleep option.

The Long Sleeve Layer is designed to be worn as a pyjama layer underneath other ergoPouch products such as swaddles, sleeping bags or onesies. The layer is made from organic jersey cotton, TOG-rated for warmth and provides stretch for comfort during sleep. The breathable natural fibres prevent overheating while being ideal for cooler nights when you need a little extra warmth under the pouch.

The Baby Tuck Sheet is a safe, suitable from birth alternative to a baby blanket. Made from breathable organic cotton and bamboo, the sheet is a firm fitting mattress sleeve providing extra security and comfort for your newborn. It can’t become untucked from the mattress underneath and has been approved by leading independent infant safety organisation INPAA.

Infant Range

The Jersey Sleeping Bag is designed for babies and toddlers who are ‘arms out’ sleepers. The slim fitting, stretchy design is similar to a swaddle and ideal for a first sleeping bag. Made from breathable natural fibres ensuring your child’s temperature is regulated and prevents overheating. There’s no need for blankets in the cot when using this product, making it an ideal safe-sleep option.

The Long Sleeve Layer is designed to be worn as a pyjama layer underneath other ergoPouch products such as swaddles, sleeping bags or onesies. The layer is made from organic jersey cotton, providing stretch for comfort and warmth during sleep. The breathable natural fibres prevent overheating while being ideal for cooler nights when you need a little extra warmth under the pouch.

The Arm Warmers are designed for when your baby is wearing a sleeveless sleeping bag, so you can add a little warmth to their arms if the coldest hours of the night are causing them to wake. The warmers are ideal as a mid-weight layer, featuring foldover cuffs to keep their hands warm too.

Toddler Range

The Long Sleeve Pyjamas are great for when your toddler grows out of their onesies. Ideal for children who have started toilet training and learning to dress themselves due to their simplicity and separate top and bottom. The pyjamas are made from skin friendly, breathable natural fibres, ensuring temperature regulation and to avoid overheating. 

The Organic Toddler Pillow is designed to support the correct alignment of the neck during sleep, suitable from 2 years. The breathable organic cotton prevents your child from getting sweaty during the night, and non-toxic certification means they won’t be breathing any harmful chemicals during sleep.

The Sleep Suit Bag converts from a Sleeping Bag to a Sleep Suit using a 4-way zipper system. Made from an organic cotton outer layer for a soft, silky feel – and organic jersey cotton with stretchy sides and shoulder panels to ensure your toddler can move easily for a tangle-free sleep. 

What our reviewers thought of the ergoPouch sleep system:

Nehah M. – NewBorn system

ergoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag 1.0 Tog

This swaddle bag has some of the great features and is so versatile. The bag is made of the softest material and offers a little stretch but still fits snug on bub. It comes with a free room temperature and what to wear guide which helped us to layer our bub as per room temperature. This made sure bub was never too hot or cold, which is so important in those early days. As a health professional myself I am so satisfied with the design which offers healthy bone growth and bone positioning.

ergoPouch Layers Long Sleeve 0.2 Tog

The Long sleeve bodysuit has been the best bodysuit/zipsuit we own especially because we can easily pair this with our cocoon Swaddle and tuck sheet. This combo provides ultimate comfort and safety for bub. The fabric is breathable and skin friendly. You will never overheat bub if dressed properly. It feels so soft, just what children need, bamboo has that quality.

ergoPouch Baby Tuck Sheet

The new invention every newborn must own! To be honest I feel safest with a baby tuck sheet instead of tucking blankets the traditional way. The material once again is super comfortable providing a little bit of stretch, skin friendly, soft to touch our bub appears extremely happy sleeping with it on. The tuck sheet fits one end of the bassinet and only comes up mid way to the chest further creating a safe environment for bub.

Skye C. – Infant system

ergoPouch Jersey Sleeping Bag 0.2 Tog

It was super easy to use. We added this and an ergopouch onesie to our night time routine and it’s made such a difference. I feel like she wakes less at night. She went from waking 3 times to only once and that’s just only for a feed. I love the soft stretchy organic cotton, the quality is amazing and well worth the money.

ergoPouch Layers Long Sleeve 0.2 Tog

I love the soft stretchy organic cotton. The quality is amazing and well worth the money. It’s super breathable. I have used other brands that made her super sweaty and uncomfortable but this sleep onesie is so perfect for any weather as it’s easy to layer up.

ergoPouch Arm Warmers

I have been using the ergopouch baby arm warmers and they are amazing. At night I would put my baby in the ergopouch jersey sleep bag for bed time and when she would wake for her night time feed or nappy change I would check the temperature and if it has cooled down I would add the baby arm warmers. The premium organic jersey cotton is super stretchy so it’s so easy to put on even over the top of a sleep bag. 

Rachel K. – Toddler system

ergoPouch Long Sleeve Pyjamas 0.2 TOG

These pyjamas are made of such a soft and luxurious material. My son gets eczema which flares up if he is overheated but he loves to wear long sleeve sleepwear so the 0.2tog rating is ideal. He is very happy wearing these to bed and would happily wear them all day too! For a 2 year old the two pieces makes changing pull-ups or nappies super quick and easy.

ergoPouch Organic Toddler Pillow

This little pillow is soft and so comfy. The low profile is a perfect in between step when a toddler is not quite ready for a proper pillow. I love that it’s machine washable, so practical for washing away dribble marks or spew marks! 

ergoPouch Sleep Suit Bag 1.0 Tog

This sleeping suit is so practical for my two year old son! We have the 1.0tog in short sleeves, size 2-4 in the sage colour. He wears it as a bag for naps and overnight but often loves to keep the sleeping bag on for a while after getting up in the morning so being able to convert it into legs means he can move around the house still with the bag on.
